I'm actually surprised Blockbusters has managed to hang on this long, I was just trying to think when we last rented a DVD and I'm starting to think it might even have been as long ago a VHS tape.

Certainly goes back to vhs tape for me, when the girls were still at school and they are now 28 and 32 with 2 kids each, how time fliesUndecided

It is so easy to copy dvd's now, (computer, dvd drive and freely available software!!!!) VHS was just as easy, direct transfer but you needed to machines.....

I suppose they will all end up as charity shops.

Probably, and there are enough of them as it is. A couple of the one time big shopping roads in Hull are now almost 1 in 3 charity shops. Handy for cheap cd's and dvd's ironically. 50p to £1 each copy a few tracks or copy the dvd for the little un's and give them back to the shop. Both charity and you win......but at the expense of the likes of Blockbuster and HMV.....a vicious circle innit???
